Practice question
Question
If the intracellular pH of a cell becomes basic, which one of the following will help reduce the pH?
Explanation
The principle of enzyme catalysis and lipid structure explains that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Hence Import of Cl ⁻ and export of HCO3 ⁻ fits best because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, as documented in authoritative sources on biochemistry.
